  • homebrew-emacsmacport

    Emacs mac port formulae for the Homebrew package manager

    I'm a fan of using vanilla emacs (less to be confused about if something breaks as a beginner!) — and since you're on OSX, I personally think the railwaycat fork will make things a bit nicer.

  • emacs-builds

    Self-contained Emacs.app builds for macOS, with native-compilation support.

    Jim's builds are pretty good, I think: https://github.com/jimeh/emacs-builds

  • build-emacs-macos

    Build script for emacs and macos

    Here's the build script that I use. It is pretty dead simple. https://github.com/mclear-tools/build-emacs-macos
